Please join us for a free day-long symposium to celebrate A Portrait of Venice, a multi-media exhibition that brings to life the city of Venice through Jacopo de’ Barbari’s iconic View, part of The Collection Galleries at the Nasher Museum. For the first time, this exhibition animates the View of Venice with interactive displays that tell the stories of one of the wealthiest, most powerful, and greatly admired cities in the early modern world. The exhibition is curated by Kristin L. Huffman, instructor of art history in Duke’s Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies. The project, part of the Visualizing Venice initiative, is the result of multi-disciplinary and collaborative research developed over three years in the Wired! Lab at Duke.
